    Airbnb's bookings are tanking in major cities world-wide amid the #coronavirus pandemic, new data show, compounding the pain for the home-sharing giant as it mulls listing in a turbulent market. @Preetika_Rana has the story: https://www.wsj.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    “I survived guests stealing my car, guests burglarizing my home, guests with drug paraphernalia and even guests operating a suspected pop-up brothel. Coronavirus has been the worst and will force me to close” https://www.wsj.com/...

    Yikes. If a city wanted to ban it, nows the time. The hosts won't object, they'd just find tenants https://twitter.com/...

    AirBNB, a “money-losing startup,” does not include public health emergencies in its extenuating circumstances refund policy. https://www.wsj.com/...

    Exclusive @WSJ: Here's how Airbnb bookings have tanked world-wide. U.S. listings are nearly empty through the summer. My latest. https://www.wsj.com/... #CoronavirusPandemic https://twitter.com/...

    Their IPO is certainly not happening this year.. Bookings Plunge Amid Coronavirus Pandemic https://www.wsj.com/...

    Timing is not on Airbnb's side with these numbers even before the coronavirus took a hit to global travel. This all during a climate where market volatility is making it near impossible to take companies public + @theinformation piece on restricted stock. https://www.bloomberg.co…

    Few things to point out here: Revenue growth up 32% yoy in Q4 — and guidance for Q1 was 25% growth. However — that projection was pre-virus frenzy and pre Trump's Europe travel ban https://www.bloomberg.com/... via @technology
